Did you know that....
A Stone Age cave painting shows prehistoric man stealing honey from a hive, probably to be mixed with flour to form little cakes or dumplings. This might be evidence of the world's first sweet. In the Middle Ages in Europe the high cost of sugar made sugar candy a delicacy available only to the rich.
Chocolate wasn't "discovered" until Christopher Columbus took cocoa beans from a Mayan ship he commandeered in 1502.
Younger children are more likely than older children to prefer hard candies.
Candy is made simply by dissolving sugar in water. The different heating levels determine the types of candy...hot temperatures make hard candy, medium heat will make soft candy and cool temperatures make chewy candy.
Chocolate is the number one food craved by girls; pizza is the number one food craved by boys.
The Dutch are the biggest eaters of candy in the world at 65 pounds per person a year.
